词汇学习10:
1. C shabby:不公正的;破旧的。与unfair(不公正的)意义相同。Her clothes were old and shabby.他过去穿的衣服既旧又破。Unforgettable:不会忘记的。A visit to Beijing is an unforgettable experience.去一次北京是一次不会忘记的经历。Unbelievable: It was an unbelievable moment when Du Li won the gold medal.杜丽获金牌之时大家高兴极了。Unthinkable:不可相信的。This place is going to be unthinkable without you.这里没有你不知道会变成什么样子。
2. C 不要以为uneasy是easy的反义词,那样的话就会选difficult了。其实uneasy是“局促不安的,忧虑的,担心的”的意思,如:I felt uneasy about asking her for such a big favour.(求她帮我这么个大忙,我感到有点不安。)The very thought of the series of examinations lying ahead made her fell uneasy.(一想到等着她的一系列考试就让她感到心神不定。)
3. A demolish这个动词的意思就是“拆毁,毁掉,推翻”,故pull down是正确答案。其他几个选项均可和houses搭配,但意义和原句不同。rebuild是“重建”,renovate“修复,整修”,whitewash“粉刷”。
4. D adverse这个词的意思是“不利的,逆的”,如:adverse wind(逆风),adverse criticism(非难),adverse situation(不利的形势),adverse balance of trade(贸易逆差)。原句的意思是:广告公司对公众对招贴画的不利反应感到惊奇。在四个选项中adverse和unfavorable同义。另外三个选项都可以用于修饰public reaction, delayed是“延误的”,quick“迅速的”,quick“迅速的”,positive“正面的,肯定的”和adverse恰恰相反。
5. B concise的意思是“简明的”,如:a concise dictionary(一部简明词典)。long and detailed的意思正好相反,又长又详尽;comprehensive是“全面的”,professional“专业的”。
6. C courteous是“有礼貌的,谦恭的”,在四个选项中只有respectful和它意义相近。respectable和respectful的区别是前者是“可尊敬的”,后者是“恭敬的,尊重别人的”,如:a respectable gentlemen(一位值得尊敬的先生),a respectful bow(充满敬意的一鞠躬)。efficient的意思是“有效率的”,well-informed“有学问的”。
7. D invaluable这个词从形式上看似乎是valuable(贵重的,有价值的)的反革命义词,其实不然,它的意思恰恰是“无法估计的,十分宝贵的”,故应选extremely useful.其他的搭配还有an invaluable treasure(无价之宝),invaluable advice(很有用的忠告),invaluable heritage(宝贵的遗产)。选项A和invaluable反义,选项B的意思是“确实很实用”,选项C的意思是“几乎没有”。
8. C 此句的意思是“我认为在这里建一家豪华宾馆的想法简直是荒唐”。Insane是sane的反义词,意思是“精神错乱的,疯狂的”,如:He went insane at last.(他最终发疯了)。故该词和mad, crazy同义。reasonable和sensible的意思都是“合理的,有理的”,故都和insane相反。
9. A exhaustive是“透彻的,彻底的”的意思,如:exhaustive study(透彻的研究),exhaustive investigation(深入的调查),所以extremely thorough是正确答案。Long and boring(长得令人厌倦),superficial(表面的),unconvincing(不能使人信服的)均不合适。
10. B ingenious:灵巧的,巧妙的,如:ingenious mind(机灵的头脑),ingenious machine(精巧的机器),ingenious tactics(巧妙的战术)等,故大致上和clever同义。effective是“有效的”,implausible(不合情理的),original(有新意的)。
11. C 这句话的意思是“他看着招牌广告,心想不知自己是否有资格去应聘”。Eligible的意思是“有资格做……,符合做……的条件”,如:Anyone above the age of 18 is eligible to vote.(18岁以上的人都可以参加选举。)Not every resident here is eligible for the medical insurance provided by the community.(并非每一个本地的居民都有资格享受社区提供的医疗保险。)
12. B vigorous:精力充沛的,有活力的,常用于人,如:a vigorous young man, 也可作“强有力的,强劲的,用力的”解,如:vigorous opponent强劲的对手,vigorous exercises运动量大的锻炼。hot-tempered是“脾气大的,性子烈的”意思,patient作形容词则是“耐心的”意思。
13. A 本句的意思是“并非所有的成员国都遵循他们先前达成一致的原则。”abide by是个短语,意为“服从,遵守”,adhere to也是一个固定的短语,和stick to同义。abide by常见的搭配还有abide by the rule/the law/decision,如:The players all abided by the referee's decision although it was not really fair.其余的三个选项apply(应用),abandon(抛弃),adopt(采纳)均可以和principle搭配,但词义和abide by不合。
14. C bias这个名词的意思是“偏袒,偏见”,without bias则是“公平地,公正地”的意思。fairly是形容词fair的副词形式,在这里是“公平地”的意思。当然,fairly也可以作“相当,还”解,表示程度,如:Your English is fairly good.(你的英语还不错。)
15. B terminate这个动词意为“结束”,可作及物或不及物动词用,如:We have decided to terminate our contract with your company.(我们已决定终止与贵公司的合同。)The forest terminates in a forest.(路的尽头是树林。)put an end to是个动词短语,如:Finally they put an end to the long-standing disputes.(最后他们终于结束了长期的争端。)resume(中断后重又开始),suspend(暂时中断),re-schedule(重新制定时间表)这三个动词都可以和construction搭配,但词义和terminate不相近。
